Few Cloudy: Captain was reported to have said to the fire crews that he had absolutely no idea there was a problem. Everything was handling normally, no instrumentation saying anything wrong...only reason they knew was because there was a hole in the wing.

Got T Shirt: Who says that the aircraft was in danger of bursting into flames?? Fire crew and flight deck were in constant communication and both agreed that there was no need to evacuate at the time but they didn't want to take the aircraft to the stand until situation was completely known to all involved.

Would you have prefered that they spray it with foam immediately after touch down - and blow half a dozen escape chutes...when there was no immediate danger??

That seems to be virgin on a media remark. You're not a reporter are you??
